Fall Campout and Bridging Ceremony

What a gorgeous weekend for a campout at the Black Bear Cabin!  We were nervous about what the weather was going to do, but it all turned out beautifully!
We started things off by having our bridging ceremony first.  Bella, Ayla and Aspen will be moving on from our troop, and we will miss them, but its been a lot of fun!  
Then we set up tents, and the kids immediately began to play in the river!


At night the girls enjoyed light sabers, throwing glowing foam swords and playing zombie and ghost games.  We also enjoyed s'mores, songs and music by the fire.   The kids went to sleep much earlier than we expected, so the moms stayed up late and enjoyed some cozy time by the fire!  We did not have any visitors from the raccoon this time around, but we were concerned about bears (with all the car damage lately), so we kept watch pretty late!  All was quiet though, and it was a peaceful night!
 Good Morning Girls!





Early to bed...early to rise!  ugh!  :)  The girls ran around playing while we got breakfast ready...they jumped around on the trampoline, played on the rope swing, and most of them couldn't get in the river fast enough, no matter how chilly the morning air was!


 That's okay though...breakfast by the fire helped warm them back up!
Then it was off to more river fun!






 Some of us headed down to the island for some climbing...


 While others continued to enjoy the sunshine on the river!



What a great time!!!
 Girls RULE!!!
